Fair enough. I'll fly the flag at half mast for your beer.

This incident, however, just gives me another reason to state that hydrometers are evil and should not be used. I don't even know where mine is right now and I don't want to know.

I'll shead a tear when I tip the carboy into the drain.

I'm such a detail freak, skipping the hydrometer would be like not scratching an itch. I just gotta. From this point on, however, I don't plan on introducing the hydrometer to any beer still inside the fermenter.

You are a boob

I'll assume you intended to put a smiley face at the end of that post.

Uhm, we're a cordial group here... There's that little Edit button you could always play with.

I think you've just been hit by a drive by posting.

I'm not saying it's entirely inaccurate. I have my moments (as my wife would attest - although she just calls me obtuse). I'd just like a little more detail regarding the motivation for the comment.

i think the most likely explanation is that we have a bit of a troll there.

He's only made two posts since joining. The first was a totally useless (not even remotely humerous) "mmmmm... beeer...." and the other was the "boob" insult.

i wouldn't worry about it. the last thing you want to do is get worked up about it. It will only encourage the behavior. The best way to battle a troll is to ignore them. They can't stand that.
